Have to say Tony does like his foreign managers. Have there been any other Finnish managers in the English League?

Not sure. But whenever I think of Finnish players I think of this clip of a phone call to talksport.....

Not sure, but Mixu Paatelainen managed in Scotland. Was it Dundee United, Hibs or Motherwell? I can't remember, but he always seemed to score against us when he played for Bolton.

Mixu P played for, then later managed Hibs. Saw him play at Easter Road many years ago, in a 1-0 win against Aidrie, IIRC

I wonder if Piglet's Pantry will put on a reindeer-meat pie in SH's honour
